Following their sons’ diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Emily Reuben and Alex Johnson founded Duchenne UK in 2012. We are an ambitious, dynamic and impactful charity. 

DMD is a devastating progressive condition diagnosed in early childhood which causes all the muscles in the body to gradually weaken. There are currently only very limited treatment options for DMD, so Emily and Alex set up Duchenne UK to change this. 

Since 2012, we have raised more than £27 million to end the devastating impact of DMD.  We fund ground-breaking scientific research to find effective treatments. We’ve developed the infrastructure of DMD clinical trial delivery in the UK. We engage industry and regulators to accelerate access to treatments. And we’re here to support every family affected and ensure that they receive the best possible care. We aim not only to improve quality of live but stop the disease in its tracks. We’re doing it faster too, because this generation of patients can’t wait.

Alex and Emily were awarded OBEs in The King’s Birthday Honours List in 2023 in recognition of their services to charity and to people living with DMD. They, and the dedicated and effective team they have built at Duchenne UK, are now at the forefront of this work in the UK.

Key responsibilities  

It is a hugely exciting time to be working in the online safety field. New regulation created by the Online Safety Act is set to significantly increase companies’ duties to keep users safe, especially children. At the same time, the online issues which families are contending with continue to evolve at pace: from mis- and dis-information in the age of generative AI, to increasing volumes of misogynistic online abuse, and data and privacy risks to name just a few.

There is cross-party consensus on the importance of tackling these issues, and a real appetite for practical, evidence-led solutions.

Against this backdrop, and ahead of a new government, Internet Matters is recruiting a Policy Manager to help ensure that our voice is heard in these conversations, advocating for the interests of children and families to be put first. This wide-ranging role will include:

• Delivering policy projects on particular issues or themes (e.g. reports, briefings, roundtable events) – and supporting projects from other teams which have policy components. The successful candidate will author external-facing outputs, with support from the wider team.

• Stakeholder engagement, public affairs and influencing – maintaining and developing a network of contacts across Government, Parliament, regulators, the third sector and industry. Identifying opportunities to push forward our agenda with key decision-makers, including through active participation in meetings and events.

• Reactive policy work – e.g. monitoring the policy landscape, writing blogs, producing briefings, responding to consultations. 

• Supporting the successful running of our Expert Advisory Panel and Vulnerable Users Working Group, e.g. though producing minutes of discussions, diarising meetings, sourcing speakers, compiling agendas, etc. 

• Contributing your ideas to team discussions about the overarching strategy for our policy and research work.

About you 

The successful candidate will have professional experience of working in policy, public affairs, or a closely related field. Knowledge of online safety/tech policy would be beneficial, but is not a requirement.

You may have worked for another charity/not-for-profit, a trade association, in government or in Parliament. You are excited by the opportunities of working in a small organisation, where everyone lends a hand to deliver key priorities, and where you can contribute very actively to our wider thinking and strategy.

Sometimes your work may focus on one or two of the key responsibilities listed above more than the others, in line with organisational need and external developments. We are therefore looking for someone who is comfortable with embracing all aspects of the job, with support, even though you may well have a preference for (or greater experience in) certain aspects of it. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who have experience of public affairs and influencing work, given that external outreach is likely to be a significant focus for us in the year ahead, but please do still apply if your experience lies more elsewhere (e.g. writing reports).

Skills, knowledge and experience  

Essential 

• Professional experience of working in policy, public affairs, or a closely related field. 

• Knowledge of the policymaking process and how it can be influenced, e.g. through Parliament.

• Excellent analytical skills – ability to read and dissect complex information. 

• Experience of producing high quality written outputs at speed, including reports, briefings and blogs.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders. 

• Project management experience. 

• A flexible and proactive outlook. 

Desirable 

• Experience of working in online safety and/or technology policy. 

• Experience presenting and sharing policy and research in a range of settings, including at external meetings and events, tailoring messages to different audiences. 

Please note that the postholder may be required to attend occasional evening events or meetings.

All applicants must have legal authorisation to work in the UK.

What else you should know 

We offer all employees: 

• 28 days holiday per annum plus all UK Bank Holidays. 

• Extra holiday with length of service up to a maximum of 31 days. 

• Hybrid working – split between our office in Central London and home working 

• Option to take two volunteering days each year. 

• Quarterly team events. 

• Season ticket loan scheme. 

The deadline for applications is 23.59 on Tuesday 9 July. 

We are looking for a talented leader, with a background in campaign or fundraising appeal delivery, to project manage our large scale and ambitious fundraising appeal to help beat blood cancer. 

The Major Appeal Project Manager will be responsible for supporting the development of the appeal, working with colleagues across the organisation on all aspects of the planning and delivery, to ensure a strategic, joined up approach that is efficient and effective. You will play a key role in driving forward the collective momentum of the appeal.

Alongside a track record of successful campaign and/or appeal delivery, ideally in a fundraising setting, you’ll bring ambition, drive, and strong organisational skills to the role to help us be the generation to beat blood cancer. 

We offer a truly agile and flexible working environment alongside other excellent benefits including 5 wellbeing days a year. If you’re looking to work in a collaborative, supportive and ambitious fundraising team then we would love to hear from you.

We welcome applications for part time hours (minimum 28 hours), please state the hours you wish to work in your cover letter.
